These Cities Will Suffer the Most Under Trumpcare

If the Republican replacement for the Affordable Care Act eventually passes, some people’s insurance prices will go up and others’ will go down. (Spoiler: if you’re poor or old, sucks to be you.) Wallethub ran the numbers for which cities will be most affected, and check out who gets the short end of the stick:

Yuma, Arizona, whose metro area has some of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. Many jobs there are in agriculture, and people have a harder time getting by in the off-season. The average family there will get $7,815 less in assistance buying insurance.

Chattanooga, TN, a city whose economy is doing pretty well overall—but also has a serious problem with income inequality. Its sunny averages hide a large number of people deep in poverty. Averaging over everybody, families’ subsidies will be smaller by $5,786.

These are cities that would probably all love to be “great again,” but the richest cities in the US are the ones who would benefit under Trumpcare. San Francisco, New York City, and Washington, DC have the highest income in the nation, and all three would see their average resident get a higher, rather than a lower, subsidy on their insurance.
